Split Rock Lighthouse Historic Site [MN]
The Split Rock Lighthouse was constructed in 1910 in reaction to several shipwrecks resulting from a 1905 storm. Shipwrecks from a mighty 1905 November gale prompted this rugged landmark's construction. Today, the lighthouse has been restored to its 1920s appearance and, in conjunction with the visitor center and keeper's house, gives visitors a glimpse into the life at the lighthouse in the 1920s.
The lighthouse offers exhibits, guided tours, a historic house museum, and field trip programs. The website offers visitor information, a history of the lighthouse, a photo gallery, and information regarding upcoming events.
